Market Drayton questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Market Drayton and the rest of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Market Drayton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
